I still can’t believe they switched to Calibri at all; the only people who should be using Calibri are people who don’t realize that Microsoft Word lets you pick other fonts.

I do wish they’d gone for a classier serif though; Garamond was right there.

You think the US govenment would go for a French typeface?

To be fair, they did choose a Roman one - one with proper Italics even.
